Spencer said Herriman sits in the southwest corner of Salt Lake County and described local attractions including the Zion Bank soccer stadium, new trail systems and events such as Herriman Town Days and a rodeo. He said the city incorporated in June 1999 with an initial population of roughly 1,500 and has grown to about 63,000 residents; Spencer said that equates to an average increase of roughly 2,600 residents per year over the growth period, though growth occurred in spurts.

Key planning facts Spencer cited:
- City area: about 23 square miles.
- Businesses: about 1,400 (many are home occupations).
- Housing units: around 19,000 total; Spencer said roughly 60% are single-family and about 40% are multifamily or attached units.
- Accessory dwelling units (ADUs): about 23 ADUs on the books under a roughly three-year-old ordinance; Spencer noted there are likely several unpermitted ADUs in practice.
- Entitled units: roughly 12,500 units are entitled and ready to build; Spencer cautioned many of these still require subdivision steps.
- Master Development Agreements (MDAs): MDAs currently account for about 37% of the city (Spencer said that figure is growing and may be approaching 40%); MDAs provide expedited review, densities and design flexibility but have made ordinance interpretation and consistent standards more complex for staff.

Spencer described Herriman's experience with \"Herriman magic,\" a local shorthand he used for rapid development conditions that sometimes resulted in varied design standards and limited staff review time. He highlighted positive recent projects including Camden Commons (multifamily) and Mountain View Plaza (commercial) and described a forthcoming Commons development the city hopes will create plaza and mixed-use amenities.

Why it matters: Spencer said Herriman's experience illustrates how greenfield growth and large MDAs can accelerate development while creating administrative and design challenges for a small staff.

Ending: Spencer encouraged committee members to reach out with questions and invited follow-up contact from WFRC staff.","Herriman planning manager Clint Spencer presented a community highlight to the Technical Advisory Committee, summarizing the city's rapid growth, major development agreements (MDAs), parks and the Herriman Town Center and offering data on population, housing and entitlements.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316844,"WFRC briefing outlines advanced air mobility uses, infrastructure and early timeline for Utah",753,3999000,4752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761&start=3999&end=4752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761/thumbnail_3999000.jpg","/articles/6316844/Utah/WFRC-briefing-outlines-advanced-air-mobility-uses-infrastructure-and-early-timeline-for-Utah","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316844-25f3eb0da586f16719c68999659d9cc7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775027167&Signature=FuoBIdTN7u9FL91TU7rkaL2WSmS~6v8kGWKypX-oJxl9CoiYzxb9aOFTXTVUKG-B4KbD6obwHCBFYW0dAMaVSnSD7MonzejtNxjL-IzjiGwBpDQH2XOxsXvdws6yCczrOxYSxV3hP-Npt2rOULJ94iQd3vnZcNjaar7j7drPiTkVzx9cEskInOP5sEiWwAC2WCSTDV-EEntOXbJgrxZMAm1b~ujnlvzDn0ZXP1KtXUbeXcFROpiwBkbpb2KqYFrfoi8RdZA45ytTl~Tdknti8CBy3WRwn3BNejtt9YVEWksSWp11kQu0ZEmbQ4AjIS3cOwE31WcJ3xHJiVDDJg~gUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WFRC long-range planning staff provided an overview of advanced air mobility (AAM)—battery-electric and hybrid aircraft for cargo and, eventually, passengers—and outlined infrastructure, regulatory and local engagement issues.

The presenter said most current demonstrations focus on cargo and that aircraft classes include eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) and CTOL (conventional takeoff and landing) electric aircraft. He described typical capabilities cited in the presentation: small personnel vehicles with roughly four seats, cargo drones ranging from single-package deliveries of 5–10 pounds up to larger cargo aircraft carrying shipping containers; quoted operational ranges of roughly 50–200 miles, with one aircraft reported at about 375 miles on a single charge in testing.

The presenter discussed an MOU between Beta Technologies and Utah that aims to plan charging infrastructure and networked operations. He also summarized a Utah coalition effort led by a private consortium called 47G to coordinate stakeholders including state government, airports, universities, utilities, and private manufacturers. WFRC staff said early vertiport locations are likely to be regional and municipal airports and Salt Lake International; they noted a goal of several vertiports by 2026.

Staff addressed coordination and safety questions: the presenter said airspace is federally controlled by the FAA and that software-based detect-and-avoid systems and airspace-deconfliction platforms are being developed to manage higher drone volumes. WFRC staff flagged a current legislative item, identified in the meeting as \"Senate Bill 96,\" and said UDOT is working with legislators on outreach and a toolkit for local governments.

Why it matters: AAM could change first/last-mile freight, medical deliveries, infrastructure inspection and regional passenger trips. Local governments will need to consider sites for vertiports, community outreach and coordination with airports and the FAA.

Ending: The presenter invited jurisdictions to contact WFRC staff with questions and offered to connect cities to FAA and airport contacts for coordination and ordinance considerations.","WFRC staff briefed the Technical Advisory Committee on advanced air mobility (eVTOL/CTOL) uses, infrastructure needs, a Utah memorandum of understanding with Beta Technologies and a state-level initiative organized by 47G; staff flagged an active bill and offered to help communities with outreach and technical questions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316848,"RGC TAC asked how to engage with screening, modeling and phasing for the 2055 Regional Transportation Plan",525,2777000,3302000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761&start=2777&end=3302","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761/thumbnail_2777000.jpg","/articles/6316848/Utah/RGC-TAC-asked-how-to-engage-with-screening-modeling-and-phasing-for-the-2055-Regional-Transportation-Plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316848-0af52b9788a4dd40d460d435258936b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775027167&Signature=eDFXXg5gKkk0BTUWmAd7n1pQkVYpPSXlO0FlHZmHE2f4NeCh7klhM51SVdiDt1P7o4Np5xO-7y7xU4e3jyeuZt5QYcD~V7UkdEIwwtu0HkT-GAerOF8MxslEV0ui~dHe3ZQnL62FHYFTuPm9jKZfWl7wQVwjuIR4mjnT7VXEofwMIZBT6MrheFcFpxIYxBotSE1Evt8w0DICWQIjsVZonxSDdSGF5u0KuakSt1YlqIOeMPNgGN650MQTnRMU3BIt~h2MOygtVZS~6XMO8dAI2Qxuq1aiVyCNzURQBsfYetN5fYbIahuBFG~N~4yCUVMk2dB~3qiDTZYZva7ZUNNUXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wasatch Front Regional Council long-range planning staff reviewed the RTP update schedule and asked the Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee (RGC TAC) whether members prefer high-level group briefings or one-on-one technical reviews during project screening and modeling.

Dori Donner, identified in the meeting as WFRC Long Range Planning Director, summarized the RTP timeline: staff completed early scoping and concept collection; this year they will screen concepts (preliminary and technical screening), develop a preferred scenario, and then prepare a phased, fiscally informed plan. The current adopted RTP horizon is 2023–2050; the update extends to 2055. Staff said they expect to complete the preliminary screening by March and could bring hundreds to thousands of concepts to the TAC in April or present a more filtered technical list for TAC review later in the spring.

Staff also said the travel demand model is being updated (model version 9.1 to 9.2) and that population/employment projections will be revised; they offered to demonstrate model changes and to present county-level forecast maps. Committee members asked for high-level mapping showing population shifts and commute patterns to inform screening decisions. WFRC staff cited internal tools including a household-and-jobs forecast viewer and a housing-inventory explorer as resources and said they will share links.

Why it matters: The RTP screening and phasing process will determine which regional projects move forward, how they are prioritized, and how revenues are matched across multiple decades. TAC input can influence categorization of projects (preferred, exploratory) and phasing criteria used for fiscal constraint.

Ending: Staff asked TAC members to consider the level of involvement they want (group reviews, 1-on-1 community follow-ups, or a higher-level briefing) and said planners should expect follow-up by WFRC staff as screening progress continues.","WFRC staff described the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update process, the timeline to identify projects through 2055, and asked the Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee how they want to be involved in preliminary screening, technical evaluation and phasing.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6316854,"Wasatch Choice Vision team asks planners to finalize land-use comments this week",713,1918000,2631000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761&start=1918&end=2631","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2375383-31051ef4a7dd5dc81612fb5041ba3761/thumbnail_1918000.jpg","/articles/6316854/Utah/Wasatch-Choice-Vision-team-asks-planners-to-finalize-land-use-comments-this-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6316854-44d2d41f9c210f05648f40794905cd08/orig.mp4?Expires=1775027167&Signature=FsYb5ZOneCRKTi3kfAj9UOAiRYTgQ3cGf4gbBXB0MfXJFPnJAu5ZGVh6V5KEQIp7Hg~RSb2SqpIcZU10GHeAM70W8SLiBT8UKPyAkQne2ZfeDyHTOzJ02zYQuu15oBL89FnptD8gryv9vaMcXyAUPVVm3vMItcG9AkJv6PWZqNnsgCfjA812hIumk-VaDeFxrdhhFO5MadCxL6epOEpVZpXtVzdDfTliglh0zwRox-gfN~P5ZXQJ-Tk~QVHFIIuya5oGZk9o62l9BWd6ugHFH-VcLGOqUdrmo9C9FI4AL1IhC5vL2MQh3n3NLB83XEonrQFRMBALbiQasJNud1SJoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) staff asked city planning departments at the Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee meeting to finalize comments on a draft update to the Wasatch Choice Vision land-use map and submit consolidated responses as soon as possible.

The presenter said the draft 2025 land-use map incorporates feedback from fall 2024 community workshops and planner comments collected over the prior month. Staff extended the planner comment period to \"this Friday,\" and asked communities to provide a unified city response (written notes or meeting minutes) for the next review step. The presenter said the city review period runs from February 27 to April 4, after which WFRC staff will package the map for review by regional committees and, ultimately, the Wasatch Front Regional Council.

Why it matters: WFRC staff stressed that the updated land-use map feeds population and employment forecasts, the real-estate market model and the travel-demand model used in the Regional Transportation Plan update. The presenter said that cleaner, planner-reviewed inputs improve transportation and transit forecasting for the whole region.

Presenters walked committee members through examples where workshop stickers were reinterpreted; Brigham City was offered as an example where a planner suggested enlarging an area interpreted as a neighborhood center to a city center. Staff encouraged jurisdictions to bring the draft to planning commissions and councils, not only planning staff, because the map will be circulated to workshop invitees and local leadership.

Salt Lake City planning staff asked whether their transportation staff had been the main WFRC contact; WFRC staff said they would follow up if planning staff had not yet engaged. The presenter said roughly 45% of communities had already responded and that staff can continue to accept comments after the immediate window, though the earlier responses inform model runs and scheduling.

Staff offered technical assistance and said WFRC can attend local meetings to help facilitate review. They also shared a link to the online interactive comment map that allows reviewers to compare the 2023 and draft 2025 visions and draw/annotate polygons with notes.

Ending: WFRC staff reiterated the request for consolidated city comments and offered follow-up assistance for planners who need help getting input from elected officials or broader community stakeholders.","Wasatch Front Regional Council staff asked city planners on the Regional Growth Technical Advisory Committee to finish reviewing the draft 2025 Wasatch Choice Vision land-use map and submit consolidated city comments in the near-term so staff can finalize the map for review by city leadership and regional committees.","actionData","errors"]
